SUBJECT: APPROVE Resolution No. 2666 to accept the public improvements related to Tract 6274 upon receipt of the maintenance bond required by the subdivision agreement and direct the City Engineer to file the notice of completion and release the bonds associated with Tract 6274

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The subject action accepts the public improvements constructed as part of Tract 6274 and begin the one-year warranty period of the public improvements.

BACKGROUND
The Vesting Tentative Map No. 6274 was approved, subject to the revised conditions of approval, by the City Council on November 5, 2019. The final map, accepted by the City Council on January 5, 2021 dedicated public street right-of-way to the City for the purposes of providing public utilities and access to the lots.

The City continues to maintain performance, labor, and material bond securities for Final Map No. 6274. These securities are held throughout construction to give the City a means to complete the public improvements should the developer fail to do so for any reason. These public improvements have since been completed and have been approved by the City Engineer.

It is now appropriate for the City to formally accept the completion of work and release the developer’s construction bonds.

The project was completed and constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The one-year warranty period will begin upon the filing of the Notice of Completion, which will follow the Council’s acceptance of the project.

This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
There will be ongoing maintenance and renewal costs for the completed improvements. These will be offset by the landscape and storm drain maintenance district No. 1 assessments. There will be no direct impact to the General Fund.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: August 15, 2023
FROM: THOMAS W. GAFFERY IV, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Actions pertaining to travel policies:
i. APPROVE Resolution No. 2667 creating an Expense
Reimbursement and Travel/Conference Policy for Legislative Officials ii. APPROVE Resolution No. 2670 creating an Employee Travel Policy

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current travel policies for employees and legislative officials are cumbersome, contradictory, and have not been revisited in over fifteen years. This action provides much-needed clarifications.

BACKGROUND
In 2003, the City Council adopted a Travel and Conference Policy for employees and legislative officials. In 2006, the City Council adopted an expense reimbursement policy for elected and appointed legislative body officials to comply with State law. However, the 2003 policy was neither repealed or revised. This has resulted in ongoing confusion.

Expense Reimbursement and Travel/Conference Policy for Legislative Officials Key revisions include changing meal reimbursements to a per diem based on US Government Services Administration rates, removal of references to City-issued credit cards, and clarification on business meal reimbursements.

Employee Travel Policy
This policy has been revised to more closely reflect the policy for legislative officials. Key provisions include clarification on mileage reimbursement for employees receiving a vehicle allowance, the process for travel-related meal reimbursements, and use of City-issued credit cards.

Staff are currently researching best practices from peer agencies and plan to bring a much larger overhaul of travel policies during calendar year 2024.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
22 Section 7 D.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This action is not associated with a General Plan goal, policy, or action item.

FISCAL IMPACT
Every item must have a fiscal impact section. N/A is not acceptable.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: August 15, 2023
FROM: WILMA TUCKER, City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVE a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Fowler and Fowler Unified School District (District) for contributions towards the community’s continued use of the District’s recreational facilities in an amount not to exceed $50,000 total for Fiscal Years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Fowler and District will cover the District’s facility use cost associated with the community’s use of the District’s various sporting facilities, cafeterias, and gymnasiums.

BACKGROUND
The District has made its recreational facilities available during non-school hours for Fowler youth groups and other Fowler community use for over 40 years at no charge. The District and City collectively desire the continued use of the District’s recreational facilities at no charge for the Fowler community.

The City understands that there is a financial burden on the District to make these recreational facilities available at no charge to the community. Therefore, the City finds it to be in the best interest of the community to provide funding to the District to help offset the cost for maintenance and overhead for the community’s continued use of District facilities. District and City staff have negotiated a City contribution of $25,000 annually for two consecutive years. If approved, the first contribution will be made prior to September 30, 2023, for the 2023-2024 school year; and before September 30, 2024, for the 2024-2025 school year. The maximum contribution associated with this MOU shall not exceed $50,000.

The City and District had a similar MOU dated January 1, 2022. That agreement also included a City contribution of $25,000 per year for a two year term. That MOU expired after the completion of the 2022-2023 school year.

The District’s Board considered the MOU at its regularly scheduled Board meeting on August 2, 2023. The attached MOU was approved by the Board and subsequently signed by the District’s Superintendent.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: August 15, 2023
FROM: ANGELA VASQUEZ, City Clerk
SUBJECT: APPROVE Resolution No. 2668 adopting the salary classification schedule

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The above action will adjust the Public Works Director salary range to the same salary range as the Finance Director classification to more closely reflect the local market for rates for such a position.

BACKGROUND
Staff conducted a review of comparable Public Works Director salary ranges at nearby municipalities and reviewed the City’s classification and compensation study performed by Koff & Associates in June 2021. Based on that data, staff recommend modifying the salary range for the Public Works Director position to the same salary range as the Finance Director classification of $8,790 - $10,685. In recruiting qualified candidates for the position, it became clear the salary range was below market.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This action is not associated with a General Plan goal, policy, or action item.

FISCAL IMPACT
This position was included in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budget and the change in compensation will result in a de minimis General Fund cost increase.
